Car Crazy 81 Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 Heres Some Progress On My Nova I Decided To Build This One To Replicate My Aunt & Uncles 72 Nova They Bought New In August Of 1971. It Was A Plain-Jane Nova With A 307 Ci With A 2 Barrel Carb, Automatic Tranny, Spring Green Paint. I Used The Kits 350 Ci And Built It As A Stock 307 Ci Replaced The Kits 4 Speed With A Automatic Tranny From A MPC Vette Kit. I Scratchbuilt The Bench Seat By Using The Kits Bucket Seats Added Some Sheet Styene In Between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car Crazy 81 Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 Heres a pic of the bench seat i modified from the kits bucket seats i got this idea from the scale auto forum. I cut the ends off added some evergreen .060 inch round rod to brace the bucket seats together and filled in the center with evergreen .030 inch sheet styene. I filled in the gaps with spot putty i still need to add another coat to finish it off. Also i modified the taillights by cutting out the original pieces and added a set of 66 chevelle wagon taillights i sanded them smooth used a red sharpie marker to paint the lights. I'll keep ya'll posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustym Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I like how you are converting the front seat, I am going to try that on mine. My 1:1 has a bench seat with the 250 in it. The engine from the Trumpeter Nova is a good replacement for the 350. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
